My whole life I have been inspired by the beauty and spirit of horses. Living in the "horse capitol" of British Columbia, I am surrounded by many different gorgeous creatures and the among them the appaloosa always catches my eye. Their unique markings and colours have such a life of their own, adding such depth and movement to animal already created from depth and beautiful movement. So naturally depth and movement was the focus when I created these and I look forward creating more!

Murals & Decorative Paint

As an extension of Carly’s fine art skills, she has created many works of art applied to walls, ceilings, floors, windows and signs. From whimsical children’s rooms to refined theatre rooms and auto shops, her creativity has no limit.

Old West Town Mural

This mural is a custom design for a private residence in Merritt B.C.

My clients requested specific visual elements to re-create the feel of some of their most favourite old west movies, places and history. Extensive research was done to find appropriate references of old west buildings to fit the scene that my clients had envisioned and that was appropriate for the space. The artwork also includes historical elements of the Town of Merritt and the old train station that was located on the property. And to add a very personal touch, I included the client's portraits as characters in the mural along with the family dogs. We had a number of fun days together posing for reference photos, picking out outfits and deciding on all of the details of the image to get it just right!

Old West Town Mural

This detail shot includes one of my clients painted as a late 18oo's lady doing her daily errands with her faithful dog by her side (in true character). The branding on the horse in the background is painted as my client's ranch brand.

Modern Tree Silhouette Mural.

Hand painted mural, drawn freehand and covered with a pane of glass to add a clean modern finish and durable protection.

Interior Design

Carly’s passion for design and architecture combined with her acute sensibility with colour, strong understanding of form and function as well as her natural ability as an artist provides her with the capacity to custom design everything from concept to the final product’s distinct details.

Assisting in choosing materials, finishes, fabrics and paint in addition to designing furniture, spaces and themes and providing an accurate rendering of the space are a few of the services she offers.

Additional services include: custom designed surfaces such as screens, wallpaper, fabrics and essentially any item or area that is in need of a custom finish or image.
